Line Commutated Converters (LCC): Biggest market by converter type

Most HVDC schemes in commercial operation employ line commutated thyristor valve converters. In a LCC, the commutation is carried out by the AC system voltage. The Line Commutated Converter-based HVDC (LCC HVDC) will continue to be used for bulk power HVDC transmission over several hundred MWs as this mature technology provides efficient, reliable, and cost-effective power transmission for many applications. This technology is helpful in transmitting direct current over long distances through submarine and underground cables, asynchronous links between AC systems, and by overhead transmitting lines.
